161	****************************** * From Ohio History Central ***************************** Benjamin Tupper was a prominent early settler of the Northwest Territory. Tupper was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1738. As a young boy, he served as an apprentice to a tanner. He remained an apprentice until he reached the age of sixteen. Tupper then became a farm hand. In 1756, he enlisted in a military company and fought for the English in the French and Indian War. He married in 1762 and supported his family by teaching school. Once the American Revolution began, Tupper enlisted in the Continental Army. He fought in several major battles and attained the rank of brigadier general before retiring in 1783. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Tupper was one of the 288 officers who signed the Newburgh Petition. These men hoped that the new government would pay its soldiers with land from the Ohio Country. Following the war, Tupper served in the Massachusetts legislature and assisted the state militia in putting down Daniel Shays' rebellion in 1786. In the same year, he helped Thomas Hutchins survey the Seven Ranges. He used the knowledge he gained while surveying to help the Ohio Company of Associates. The Company soon received permission from the Confederation Congress to establish settlements in the Ohio Country. Tupper traveled west with the original Ohio Company settlers and helped found Marietta. He served on various committees responsible for building roads, determining where new settlements were to be founded, and where various flour and sawmills were to be located. On September 9, 1788, Tupper and Rufus Putnam became the first judges in the Northwest Territory. Tupper lived in the Northwest Territory for the remainder of his life. He died on June 7, 1792.

162	**************************** Biography William was born in 1697. William Billings ... He passed away in 1733. W^hen the Rev. William Billings settled in the new parish he bought of Samuel Ashlev one hundred acres Bethiah first married Rev. William Billings, son of Capt. William Billings (ca 1660-8 Jun 1728) & Hannah Sterry (18 Aug 1672-). Born on 16 Feb 1697 in Stonington, CT.345 William died in Hampton, CT, on 20 May 1733; he was 36. On 4 Jul 1734 when Bethiah was 30, she second married Rev. Samuel Moseley, son of Ebenezer Moseley (4 Sep 1673-19 Sep 1740) & Hannah Weeks (28 Feb 1678-27 Mar 1747).158 Born on 15 Aug 1708 in Dorchester, MA. Samuel died in Hampton, CT, on 26 Jul 1791; he was 82. Samuel was ordained 15 May 1734 of the Second Church at Windham. 18 FOLKLORE AND FIRESIDES of land from the tract which extended along the Nip- muck Path and Little River to the summit of the Hill above North Bigelow, and on the hillside facing the common built his dwelling. Rev. Billings' pastorate was not all harmonious, as he seems to have had difficulty with his discipline, one man being brought before the church for saying, "I would rather hear my dog bark than hear Billings preach." Others were brought before the church for being "overtaken with strong drink." But innkeeper Hovey or Benjamin Bidlack, storekeeper, who furn- ished the drink were not dealt with. Pastor Billings' work for the parish was cut short by his death in 1733, just ten years after he had so happily taken the charge. He left a widow and four small chil- dren. His estate consisted of: £. S. D. £. S. D.

But her prob- lems were solved by marrying the second pastor, Sam- uel Mosley, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1729. Mr. Mosley is said to have been a man of dignity, THE FIRST ORDINATION 19 strict in discipline, and an able and earnest preacher. There is no record of the amount of his salary, but it is evident he looked well to his own good when he mar- ried the widow of his predecessor. A colonial minister had need of being a good business man as well as a scholar. All were obliged to till the soil, for "bread is earned by the sweat of the brow," and, "he that did not work, neither could he eat," were literal facts. Each man was dependent upon his harvests, and not upon the outside world. MEMBERS OF THE FIRST CHURCH IN 1723 Members of the first church in 1723 were Rev. Wil- liam Billings; deacons, Nathaniel Kingsbury, and Wm. Durkee; members, Ebenezer Abbey, George Martin, Joseph Jennings, Nathaniel Hovey, Samuel Ashley, John Clarke, John Durkee, William Durkee, Jeremiah Durkee, Thomas Marsh, William Farnham, John Scrip- ture, Nathaniel Fline, Benjamin Bidlock. Within the next two years the following were united with the church, the community having grown rapidly: Daniel Holt, David Warren, Paul Abbot, Matthias Marsh, Wil- liam Averill, James Utley, Daniel Button, Timothy Pearl, Robert Willis, Jacob and John Preston, Ebenezer Crocker, Nathaniel W^oodard, Robert Holt, Ebenezer Martin, Joseph Badcock, Philip Abbot, Stephen Fuller, Nathaniel Parker, William Shaw, Jon. Hendee, Thomas Durkee, Samuel Colburn, Joshua Holt, Joseph Lasalle, Nathaniel Ford, Robert Colburn, Samuel Blanchard, Benjamin Preston, and David and Isaac Canada, sons of the first settler; his widow, Margaret's name is found on the lists, as well as a large number of wives and fam- 20 FOLKLORE AND FIRESIDES ilies of the above. There was also a number of resi- dents not connected with the church. Discipline was strict in the parish. In 1725 they voted, "We look upon every baptized person to be a subject of church discipline and ought to be called to an account by some church or other, whenever they offend." Schools were established, and were held in private homes in different parts of the parish, a few weeks at a time; the teacher was paid a small sum for each day the child attended. The parish had its own selectmen and surveyors, so needed to go to Windham Center only for town meetings. CHAPTER IV REV.

163	****************************** From https://robsgenealogy.com/robsgenealogy/getperson.php?personID=42078976&tree=tree1 John McNeely son of Jonathan (John) married Elinor Hart. This marriage is supported by Hart family location and association and is further supported by the fact that John had daughter named Elinor and a son named Samuel, Samuel Hart was Elinor’s father. The dates of land ownership assist us in determining migration groups. It appears that Adam’s family migrated with him in what we have termed the ﬁrst increment, we do not know the dates of birth of his children; we know Adam Sr. died in 1766. Jonathan (John I) migrated same increment. His family is with him except John Junior, Archibald and Margaret. They had married by this time and remained in PA for a short period. The time line shows Archibald and John signing petition in Bucks County, PA in 1763 with Archibald having a child baptized at Tinicum Presbyterian Church, PA in 1770. Hence it is doubtful either of them came with ﬁrst increment. We believe John Jr., Archibald, James and Margaret (McNeely) Hughes (four siblings), Elinor’s sisters families and possibly her nephew Samuel migrated prior to the Revolutionary war, probably around 1772. They are not listed on the 1775 associate list of Bedminster Township, Bucks County, PA. An interesting tidbit of Hart family lore, some of the children went south for the purpose of horse breeding. They have found no support for this lore but later some of John McNeely’s family is involved in horse-trading in North Carolina and South Missouri. By process of elimination and examination of available documents it appears that Jonathan (John) McNeely of Bucks County, PA is the Ireland immigrant John, who migrated to North Carolina around 1760. It also supports him as being the John who appears as landowner in 1765 in Rowan County, North Carolina along with Adam McNeely landowner same year. The family association in Rowan County provides reasonable support for him to be the father of the siblings mentioned in Isaac’s will, John, Archibald, Isaac, James and Margaret. It is a challenge tracing the McNeelys. The continue to use the same names over and over. For instance, there are 3 generations named John. From the book "History of the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run 1725-1975, by Dorothy Cameron, pg 8-9. Robert McNeely, [uncle of this James] who came to this country from County Tyrone in 1732, was of pure Irish lineage. Influenced by the Scotch immigration into north Ireland, the McNeelys became Presbyterian and the clan O'Neale, with an eight century authentic genealogy in Ireland, gave its name the Scottish form. The McNeelys were active in the affairs of Deep Run through the early 1800s. This family produced a Presbyterian minister; he was the son of the widow of the Rev. James Grier by her marriage to a McNeely. The following researched by Maurice Mcneely in his book "Mcneelys of Northwest Missouri:" Three brothers, Robert, John. and Adam McNeely were born in Tyrone County, Ireland (in what is now Northern Ireland) – Robert, the oldest, about 1690; John and Adam were born by 1700. I have not been able to determine the names of their parents. They migrated to America and are in Bucks County, PA by 1741. Bedminster Township in Bucks County is about 30 miles north from downtown Philadelphia. We ﬁnd the McNeely’s ﬁrst mentioned in history and records in the township of Bedminster. Hanna, in his “The Scotch-Irish”, tells us that Deep Run Presbyterian Church in Bedminster township was established in 1726. "The History of Bedminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania" states: “In the early I700 ’s there was a migration of Scotch-Irish from Northern Ireland This was due not from famine, but as a result of the Trade and Navigation Act passed by Parliament in I696. This Act classified Northern Ireland as if it were one of the colonies, as far as taxation was concerned. Many people faced complete ﬁnancial ruin. The end result was a migration into the colonies. They preferred the wilderness to the cities. Not so much for the privacy, but to get away from the sight and sound of the British and British law which they felt had betrayed them. They journeyed out into the wilderness and ﬁnding land they liked which was unoccupied they squatted. They felt that God did not like idle land and if the Proprietors were not doing anything with the land why, then they would. And so they became squatters. They moved in, then had to be removed when the land was legally sold. This was one of William Allen's (a land proprietor) big problems...as land was sold to speculators, squatters who had the means could get a mortgage and buy their plot if they wished. We know that Isaac Norris used a plan whereby a man could pay a sum each year for twenty years. Then on the twenty ﬁrst year the land became his, and he received a deed It is not known if William Allen used this plan, but we do know he had some sort of contractual arrangement with those buying his land " (Early Families, page 5, History of Bedminster, Bucks County, PA, fourth printing, September 1999, by Bedminster Historical Society, Pauline Cassel, 1976) “Active in the Deep Run Presbyterian Church in early time was ROBERT McNEELY. He settled on I53 acres of land north of church site. His brother JOHN (Jonathan in some records) McNEELY settled above him on I90 acres of land...both brothers are on Allen land. They probably settled here AFTER 1741. There may have been a purchase agreement sat up with William Allen, but it never came into fruition. Allen ’s Estate sold...in 1801... And so, sixty years of hard work and heavy taxation went down the drain. The tax list of I782 and I783 show both McNeely’s are on the Allen Estate. The end of the revolution proprietary land was now commonwealth land There would be patents and warrants issued into the mid eighteen hundreds in this area. As for the land that had been William Allen ’s the American government had confiscated it. A court battle ensued to regain the land by his estate, headed by Ann Penn Greenleaf Granddaughter of William Allen. She and her family succeeded in regaining control of what was William Allen ’s land. Many families on that land did not have a deed to their property. It may be they had a purchase agreement with William Allen which became void after I776, when Allen went to England They had paid their taxes on the land to the Continental Government during the war on the basis that the land was theirs by default. Now the estate came along with purchase demands. It is not known if these families were given ﬁrst chance to purchase their land from the estate or if they could not meet the price set by the estate, however, we do know that the unsold land of William Allen ’s Estate went on public auction several times. The auctions held in I800 and 1801 took place at John Shaw’s Tavern in Dublin. This was the former Robert Robinson Tavern Helm and Archibald McNeely were witness for Robert Robinson on his application for tavern in 1770). Men such as ROBERT McNEELY who had held over 300 acres in I782 were sold out. The land was re-plotted. Property lines changed and new people settled on land that had been farmed by another for over forty years.” (Early Families, page 37, History of Bedminster, Bucks County, PA, fourth printing, September I999, by Bedminster Historical Society, Pauline Cassel, I976).

177	******************************** Now that Nathaniel had a farm, and a house, it was time to get married (according to the Covenant, he could only keep his full twelve acres if he was married.) He promptly did so 25 June 1639, marrying Priscilla Clarke. Priscilla was born in 1613 in Banham, Norfolk, England, the 8th of 11 children of Thomas and Mary Clarke. She came to Dedham from Watertown with four siblings. Exactly when they emigrated is unclear, although the passenger list of the ship Abraham in 1635 includes a “Clark Jo” aged 20, the age of her brother John at the time. Her brother Rowland owned land in Dedham by 1637 but died the following year (some genealogies confuse their grandfather, also Rowland, with this brother; others confuse this Rowland Clark with another Rowland from Bedfordshire and say that he was her father.) In emigrating together, the Clarke siblings were more typical Puritans than Nathaniel, who came without other family members. According to David Hackett Fischer, “By comparison with other colonies, households throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut included large number of children, small numbers of servants and high proportions of intact marital unions.” Ref Marital bliss was enforced by law: Puritans thought life in a “covenanted family” was the only proper way, and made it illegal to live alone. Officials would force a stubborn bachelor to either “settle himself with a family” or “settle himself” in the House of Correction. ************************************************** From http://www.clubmobile.org/Colburns/Nathaniel.html ****************************************************	Clarke, Priscilla (I617)

181	********************************** From the Baker Family Tree, Chapter 17, The Clarke Family: http://bakerfamilytree.blogspot.com/2008/02/chapter-17-clarke-family_27.html Retreived Jan. 15, 2011 THE FIFTH GENERATION: Benjamin Clark (1750-1834) Benjamin did not remember his father; his father had died when he was only five years old. When Benjamin was twelve years old his mother remarried a Mr. Walden but Mr. Walden died suddenly after less than four years of marriage. His mother again remarried less than a year following her second husband’s death and this time she moved with her new husband to Norwick, Connecticut leaving behind Benjamin and his brothers in Ashford. Benjamin, then seventeen, went to work and live at his uncle Theophilus’ tavern on Ashford Green in the village of Ashford. Benjamin Clark met his future wife “Nabbe” from the nearby community of Tolland, shortly before his nineteenth birthday. When they married in early 1769 Nabbe was only sixteen and Benjamin had just turned nineteen. [“Nabbe” and Benjamin are our daughter-in-law’s 6th great grandparents. Unfortunately, we know little about the background of Nabbe. It is believed that her proper name was Abigail but her surname is not known. A number of sources give her name as Abigail Hunt which would be very exciting because Abigail Hunt’s great-great grandfather, Thomas Loring, was the sister of Welthean Loring who is our son’s 11th great grandmother. This, if it were true, would mean that our son and his wife, our daughter-in-law, share common ancestors, the parents of Thomas and Welthean Loring. It is also exciting because Abigail Hunt is a descendant of a Mayflower passenger. As is often the case, information found on Ancestry.com is often bogus and after some research I believe that it is unlikely that it was Abigail Hunt who married Benjamin Clark. For one thing she was born and died in a town in Massachusetts that is not located anywhere near where Benjamin lived. Furthermore, the date of her death does not match the known date of Nabbe’s death. New note added December, 2008: Based on reasearch provided by Paula Hart, a distant cousin of my daughter-in-law's and a Clark descendant, she determined that Abigail Hart actually married a cousin of Benjamin Clark's who also was named Benjamin Clark. Their fathers were brothers. This helps explain why some of the genealogists using Ancestry.com confused the names. In Chapter 8 of our family’s history we write about two of our ancestor families, the Hammonds and the Tubbs. Both families relocated in the early 1770s from New London, Connecticut to the Wyoming Valley (along the Susquehanna River near the present day city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania). The background for this move to the Wyoming Valley was described as follows: “In 1753, an association was formed in Connecticut, called the Susquehanna (Land) Company, the object of which was to plant a colony in the Wyoming Valley, a region claimed by Connecticut by virtue of an ancient but somewhat questionable Charter granted to it by the English Crown in the 1600s. . . In February 1769, the Susquehanna Company finally sent its first group of forty Connecticut settlers into the Wyoming Valley. They were followed in the spring of 1769 by another two hundred families . . . .” [More information about this new colony and its history in the Revolutionary War is described in Chapter 8]. The tempting offer of inexpensive and fertile farm land was enough to entice not only my ancestors, the Hammond and Tubbs families, to relocate but also Benjamin and his brother Samuel and their families, who in early 1770 made the long overland trip to this new community in the Wyoming Valley. Despite the fact that hundreds of Connecticut Yankees moved to this new community in northeastern Pennsylvania over the next four or five years, it is likely that the Clarks (our daughter-in-law’s ancestors) and the Hammonds and Tubbs (our son’s ancestors) were neighbors and well acquainted. In fact, in August of 1776 both Benjamin Clark and Samuel Tubbs enlisted together as privates in the Wyoming Company that was formed to join forces with the army of George Washington. Their Company marched to New Jersey and joined with Washington’s Continental Army on January 1, 1777. Nabbe was pregnant when Benjamin left with his regiment. Benjamin and Nabbe Clark’s first son, John Theophilus Clark, was born on July 8, 1770 in their newly built two room log home constructed shortly after their arrival in the Wyoming Valley. In 1772, a second child, a daughter, was born to the couple and in 1774 the couple was blessed with a third child. On March 5, 1777, Nabbe gave birth to twin daughters, however the births of the twins did not go well, and her new babies died. The complications from the births were too much for Nabbe. Her husband was away at the war when she finally surrendered her life on March 12, 1777. She was just 24 years old. Benjamin was devastated when he learned a month later of his young wife’s death. Benjamin Clark and the Connecticut Regiment from the Wyoming Valley played a very active role in the Revolutionary War. In 1777, they were engaged in actions at Milstone River and Bound Brook in New Jersey [home of another Revolutionary War patriot, our ancestor, Peter Harpending] and in battles at Brandywine and Germantown, before joining Washington’s army at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-78. In the spring of 1778, some of their regiment having heard rumors of a threatened attack upon their community in the Wyoming Valley, returned home to assist in the protection of their homes. Benjamin however, elected to stay with the Continental Army and was not present at the Battle of Wyoming on July 3, 1778. [See Chapter 8 for more details]. In June of 1778, Benjamin’s regiment was engaged in the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey. Shortly after the battle his troops were ordered to return to Wyoming however they failed to arrive before the Indian attack and the massacre of so many of their friends. Benjamin was discharged from duty on July 5, 1778. In the summer of 1779, Benjamin joined Sullivan’s expedition against the western Indians which took him as far north as Seneca Lake in Central New York. Further military records indicate that Benjamin served in the army from March 1781 through June 1783. In 1818 at the age of sixty-nine years old, Benjamin Clark then residing in the Township of Ulster in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, applied for and was awarded a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War. In his application for the pension he noted that his discharge papers from the military were lost in February 1793 when “his home was consumed by fire together with all his effects . . “ [Chapter 9 describes Peter Harpending’s involvement in the Battle of Monmouth, Chapter 12 has a section describing the Sullivan Expedition, and Chapter 15 outlines many of our ancestors who fought alongside Benjamin Clark in the American War for Independence. If only we could go back in time to see how often the Clark family and our family crossed paths in the course of our country’s early history. It would be a fascinating adventure.] Somehow, between the time he was discharged in July of 1778 and the time he re-enlisted in the summer of 1779, Benjamin Clarke managed to get remarried. His new wife was 28 year old Keziah Yarrington. Keziah had lost her first husband, Silas Gore, the previous year at the Battle of Wyoming. Together they had four children born between the years 1781 and 1787. In the late 1780s, the Clark family including Benjamin’s brother and his family, moved north up the Susquehanna River to settle a new community in Ulster in present day Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Joining them was Benjamin’s oldest son, John Theophilus Clark, and John’s future bride, Cynthia Campbell. Benjamin lived to the ripe old age of 87 and he is buried alongside his second wife in Ulster.

187	*********************************** History of Allen and Woodson Counties, Kansas Edited and Compiled by L. Wallace Duncan and Chas. F. Scott. Iola Registers, Printers and Binders, Iola, Kan.: 1901 *********************************** JOHN FRANCIS— In Norfolk, England, where had been born and buried generations of his family, John Francis, the subject of this sketch, saw the light of day on April 24, 1837. By the death of his father he was left at two years of age to the care of his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Kitteringham. She was a woman of much energy and unusual strength of character and under her hand he was educated and brought to his majority. It was then that the Kansas struggle was pending and the Free State and Pro-Slavery fight was being hearkened to half way round the world. The young man listened with the rest and his sympathies being strongly awakened he determined to come to America and have a hand in the strife. He left England for Kansas in 1858, coming to Osawatomie where were gathered many of the friends and followers of John Brown. He remained there until March, 1859, when he removed to Allen county, pre-empted a claim, near his present home, and engaged in farming. The looked for crash came and in July, 1861, he enlisted in the Third Kansas Regiment, Colonel James Montgomery commanding. In the spring of 1862 the company to which he belonged was transferred to the 5th Kansas Cavalry in which regiment he served in Missouri and Arkansas, making the march from Rolla to Helena. At Helena he was invalided and sent to the General hospital at Keokuk, Iowa, from which he was discharged in November, 1863, greatly broken in health. He returned to Allen county and was elected County Clerk and re-elected in 1865, serving four years. He also held under appointment of Judge D. M. Valentine, then Judge of the District, the office of Clerk of the District Court, receiving this appointment in 1865 at the time the county-seat was moved from Humboldt to Iola. At the expiration of his appointive term he was elected to the office which he resigned in 1868. Meanwhile he had found time to study law and was admitted to practice in 1867. In November of the same year, 1867, he was elected County Treasurer and re-elected in '69. At the end of his term of service as County Treasurer he engaged in merchandising in Iola in which business he continued until July, 1877. In 1873 he was appointed by Governor Thomas A. Osborn as one of the trustees of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Olathe. And on May 1st,1874, he was appointed State Treasurer of Kansas to fill the unexpired term of Josiah E. Hayes. Again in December, 1875, he was appointed to the same office to bring order out of chaos in the accounts of Samuel Lappin, who was in trouble. In 1876 he went before the people as a candidate for State Treasurer and was elected, was reelected in 1878 and again re-elected in 1880. After leaving the office of State Treasurer he engaged in bond business and banking in New York City. In 1892, his health again failing him, he moved to his farm at the northern edge of Allen county, where he now lives. In 1898 he was elected Representative of his county and was made Chairman of the Committee on State Affairs. He was returned to the House in 1900 and appointed Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means. Upon the adjournment of the Legislature he was appointed a member of the Tax Commission, authorized by the House and Senate of 1901, and was selected as its President. John Francis is a Republican, a Mason and a Knight Templar. He became a member of the Iola Lodge, number 38 A. F. & A. M. in 1865 and filled successively its several offices including that of Master. He is a Churchman, having been confirmed in Norwich, England, at the age of fourteen, by Bishop Selwyn of New Zealand. On February 23rd, 1862, while on furlough from his regiment, he was married to Lodeska Coffield, whose parents came to Allen county from Indiana in 1860. Mrs. Francis is a lineal descendant of Adrial Simons, a Revolutionary patriot, son of Dutch parents who emigrated from Holland in 1700, also of Benjamin Clark, likewise a soldier of the Revolution. They have three daughters and one son, Anna, Clara, Maude Elizabeth and John. Few men in Kansas have a more distinguished and honorable record of public service than Hon. John Francis, and none is more highly esteemed or more universally respected. For thirty years he has been a conspicuous figure in the public life of Allen county and of the State of Kansas, and he is still vigorously engaged in the performance of the most responsible and important public duties.

195	************************************** In early 1629 the Massachusetts Bay Company received a royal charter that allowed the Company to carry on the work, begun earlier in the decade by the Dorchester Company and then the New England Company, of developing permanent settlements in New England. During 1629 the Massachusetts Bay Company sent settlers to Massachusetts Bay, mostly young, single men, servants either of the Company itself or of particular merchants and gentlemen associated with the Company. Included among these 1629 immigrants were three ministers of Puritan leanings, reflecting the religious beliefs of the Company’s leaders. By late 1629 John Winthrop of Groton, Suffolk, had been made Governor of the Company, and planning began in earnest for sending a larger group of settlers to New England. In the spring of 1630 Winthrop led more than a dozen vessels, with about seven hundred passengers, across the Atlantic. This small armada of 1630 has come to be known as the Winthrop Fleet. The somewhat broader settlement activities of 1629 and 1630, of which the Winthrop Fleet was the larger part, have been termed the Winthrop Migration. *********************************************** * FROM: https://shop.americanancestors.org/products/the-winthrop-fleet-massachusetts-bay-company-immigrants-to-new-england-1629-1630?pass-through=true *************************************************	Winthrop, Gov.

196	***************************************** * Elinor married to John McNeely in Bucks Count around 1758 * From website https://robsgenealogy.com/robsgenealogy/getperson.php?personID=42078976&tree=tree1 ------------------------------- Jonathan (John) McNeely is immigrant John, brother of Robert and Adam. They migrated from Northern Ireland to Bucks County, Pennsylvania around 1740. There is an association with the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania McNeely’s, David is part of this association. Adam, Jonathan (John), Robert and David are the progenitors of the Rowan, lredell and Mecklenburg North Carolina McNeely’s. John McNeely son of Jonathan (John) married Elinor Hart. This marriage is supported by Hart family location and association and is further supported by the fact that John had daughter named Elinor and a son named Samuel, Samuel Hart was Elinor’s father. The dates of land ownership assist us in determining migration groups. It appears that Adam’s family migrated with him in what we have termed the ﬁrst increment, we do not know the dates of birth of his children; we know Adam Sr. died in 1766. Jonathan (John I) migrated same increment. His family is with him except John Junior, Archibald and Margaret. They had married by this time and remained in PA for a short period. The time line shows Archibald and John signing petition in Bucks County, PA in 1763 with Archibald having a child baptized at Tinicum Presbyterian Church, PA in 1770. Hence it is doubtful either of them came with ﬁrst increment. We believe John Jr., Archibald, James and Margaret (McNeely) Hughes (four siblings), Elinor’s sisters families and possibly her nephew Samuel migrated prior to the Revolutionary war, probably around 1772. They are not listed on the 1775 associate list of Bedminster Township, Bucks County, PA. An interesting tidbit of Hart family lore, some of the children went south for the purpose of horse breeding. They have found no support for this lore but later some of John McNeely’s family is involved in horse-trading in North Carolina and South Missouri. By process of elimination and examination of available documents it appears that Jonathan (John) McNeely of Bucks County, PA is Ireland immigrant John who migrated to North Carolina around 1760. It also supports him as being the John who appears as landowner in 1765 in Rowan County, North Carolina along with Adam McNeely landowner same year. The family association in Rowan County provides reasonable support for him to be the father of the siblings mentioned in Isaac’s will, John, Archibald, Isaac, James and Margaret. Our McNeelys were in Cape Girardeau County by the 1830s. It is a challenge tracing the McNeelys. The continue to use the same names over and over. For instance, there are 3 generations named John. From the book "History of the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run 1725-1975, by Dorothy Cameron, pg 8-9. Robert McNeely, [uncle of this James] who came to this country from County Tyrone in 1732, was of pure Irish lineage. Influenced by the Scotch immigration into north Ireland, the McNeelys became Presbyterian and the clan O'Neale, with an eight century authentic genealogy in Ireland, gave its name the Scottish form. The McNeelys were active in the affairs of Deep Run through the early 1800s. This family produced a Presbyterian minister; he was the son of the widow of the Rev. James Grier by her marriage to a McNeely. The following researched by Maurice Mcneely in his book "Mcneelys of Northwest Missouri:" Three brothers, Robert, John. and Adam McNeely were born in Tyrone County, Ireland (in what is now Northern Ireland) – Robert, the oldest, about 1690; John and Adam were born by 1700. I have not been able to determine the names of their parents. They migrated to America and are in Bucks County, PA by 1741. Bedminster Township in Bucks County is about 30 miles north from downtown Philadelphia. We ﬁnd the McNeely’s ﬁrst mentioned in history and records in the township of Bedminster. Hanna, in his “The Scotch-Irish”, tells us that Deep Run Presbyterian Church in Bedminster township was established in 1726. "The History of Bedminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania" states: “In the early I700 ’s there was a migration of Scotch-Irish from Northern Ireland This was due not from famine, but as a result of the Trade and Navigation Act passed by Parliament in I696. This Act classified Northern Ireland as if it were one of the colonies, as far as taxation was concerned. Many people faced complete ﬁnancial ruin. The end result was a migration into the colonies. They preferred the wilderness to the cities. Not so much for the privacy, but to get away from the sight and sound of the British and British law which they felt had betrayed them. They journeyed out into the wilderness and ﬁnding land they liked which was unoccupied they squatted. They felt that God did not like idle land and if the Proprietors were not doing anything with the land why, then they would. And so they became squatters. They moved in, then had to be removed when the land was legally sold. This was one of William Allen's (a land proprietor) big problems...as land was sold to speculators, squatters who had the means could get a mortgage and buy their plot if they wished. We know that Isaac Norris used a plan whereby a man could pay a sum each year for twenty years. Then on the twenty ﬁrst year the land became his, and he received a deed It is not known if William Allen used this plan, but we do know he had some sort of contractual arrangement with those buying his land " (Early Families, page 5, History of Bedminster, Bucks County, PA, fourth printing, September 1999, by Bedminster Historical Society, Pauline Cassel, 1976) “Active in the Deep Run Presbyterian Church in early time was ROBERT McNEELY. He settled on I53 acres of land north of church site. His brother JOHN (Jonathan in some records) McNEELY settled above him on I90 acres of land...both brothers are on Allen land. They probably settled here AFTER 1741. There may have been a purchase agreement sat up with William Allen, but it never came into fruition. Allen ’s Estate sold...in 1801... And so, sixty years of hard work and heavy taxation went down the drain. The tax list of I782 and I783 show both McNeely’s are on the Allen Estate. The end of the revolution proprietary land was now commonwealth land There would be patents and warrants issued into the mid eighteen hundreds in this area. As for the land that had been William Allen ’s the American government had confiscated it. A court battle ensued to regain the land by his estate, headed by Ann Penn Greenleaf Granddaughter of William Allen. She and her family succeeded in regaining control of what was William Allen ’s land. Many families on that land did not have a deed to their property. It may be they had a purchase agreement with William Allen which became void after I776, when Allen went to England They had paid their taxes on the land to the Continental Government during the war on the basis that the land was theirs by default. Now the estate came along with purchase demands. It is not known if these families were given ﬁrst chance to purchase their land from the estate or if they could not meet the price set by the estate, however, we do know that the unsold land of William Allen ’s Estate went on public auction several times. The auctions held in I800 and 1801 took place at John Shaw’s Tavern in Dublin. This was the former Robert Robinson Tavern Helm and Archibald McNeely were witness for Robert Robinson on his application for tavern in 1770). Men such as ROBERT McNEELY who had held over 300 acres in I782 were sold out. The land was re-plotted. Property lines changed and new people settled on land that had been farmed by another for over forty years.” (Early Families, page 37, History of Bedminster, Bucks County, PA, fourth printing, September I999, by Bedminster Historical Society, Pauline Cassel, I976).

200	****************************************** * NOTES ON FIND A GRAVE * **************************************** Thomas was born in Sandwich in the house his father built, lived there all his life, and lies buried under a stone still standing by the pond in the beautiful old burying ground. When yet a young man, he became active in the affairs of the town, becoming a freeman at age 20 and in 1658, with his father, was listed as one of the largest landholders. He served on a jury in 1664; was one of two excisemen in 1667 and elected town constable in 1669. He early became one of the most prominent citizens, serving as selectmen for fourteen years, town clerk from 1675 to 1685, deputy to the General Court at Plymouth for eleven years; commissioner ìagainst the abuse of drinkers and liquerî; representative to the court in Boston and in 1680 was appointed lieutenant of the military company in Sandwich, becoming captain in 1690. After the absorption by the Massachusetts Bay Colony he was one of the first representatives sent to Boston. There is abundant evidence that he was one of the most influential men of this generation. With the turn of the century swiftly changing social and economic conditions caused the surviving heirs of the ten original proprietors of Sandwich to insist their rights of ownership of the lands within the limits of the first grants as against the towns people in general, and the meadow and pasture lands held in common gradually came into their private ownership. In 1680 Thomas Tupper II was appointed by the General Court at Plymouth to be lieutenant of the military company organized at Sandwich, and 10 years later he was commissioned captain, by which title he was commonly known after 1691. He had strong religious convictions and for many years was a missionary among the Indians of the Mashpee and Herring Pond tribes. The first child of Captain Tupper and his wife Martha, a daughter, was named Martha after her mother; the second child, a son, was named Thomas, a given name common for many generations in both the Tupper and Mayhew families. The other six sons received their names directly from the bible, evidence of the Puritan training of their father. Their second daughter was named Jane after her grandmother Mayhew; the third, Anne, after her grandmother Tupper, and the fourth after her motherís sister, Bethiah Mayhew. **********************************************************	Tupper, Captain Thomas Henry (I3057)
